Since you can't win after a year, don't risk your own money anymore. Play free rolls instead.

I am assuming this thread is serious. If not, then I guess I am an idiot. But, it appears that you have a gambling problem. You should probably get help of some kind. I have never been to a support group of any kind, so I can't tell you if GA is any good.

If you ever choose to play again, don't let yourself gamble money which you can't afford to lose.

Definitely do not borrow money to gamble with.

That's f'd up dude...but funny.

On a serious note, you need to step away from poker. Google "Gambler's Anonymous" and that should get you off on the right foot. F'n up your life on account of poker is very -EV.

Step down in limits.

GA is the way forward, they're meant to be pretty good if you're willing to try.

You'll meet others in the same position and have a chance to do non-pokery things with like minded people.
